Version 1
            [Verse 1]
G                C                   G
One month on the road will leave you wondering
    A                           D    A D
how any man could ever want for more
G                   C                   G
Three months on the road will leave you stumbling
D                D7           G
Falling through another hotel door
[Chorus]
         C    D           G G/F#  Em
Throwing Houlihans at the Holiday Inn
        C                D
Haven't put boot heel to belly
      G              G7
Since can't remember when
     C                D           G       G/F#   Em
I'll sing you all the songs of my working cowboy kin
         C                D                C       G 
and it's back to throwing Houlihans at the holiday inn
[Verse 2]
G          C                 G
Highwayside, grazin' herd of cattle
A                                  D     A D
Folks around here pull in a decent yield
G                 C           G
a view best taken in from the saddle
D                        D7                G     G7
I'm staring through this dirty cracked windshield
[Chorus]
         C    D           G G/F#  Em
Throwing Houlihans at the Holiday Inn
        C                D
Haven't put boot heel to belly
      G              G7
Since can't remember when
     C                D           G       G/F#   Em
I'll sing you all the songs of my working cowboy kin
         C                D                C       G
and it's back to throwing Houlihans at the holiday inn

[Verse 3]
G                 C                    G
If I'm paid well, a tale I'll tell and sing
  A                        D      A D
I seldom pay a cent for my drinks
G                    C                    G
folks in here tonight, think I'm the king
    D                                D7
I'd trade it all for a double rigged saddle
                   G      G7
and a good pair of shanks
[Chorus]
         C    D           G G/F#  Em
Throwing Houlihans at the Holiday Inn
        C                D
Haven't put boot heel to belly
      G              G7
Since can't remember when
     C                D           G       G/F#   Em
I'll sing you all the songs of my working cowboy kin
         C                D                C       G
and it's back to throwing Houlihans at the holiday inn
         C                D              C       G   C  G
and it's back to throwing Houlies at the holiday inn
